Frozen in time and still delicious 15 years later.I was a huge fan of Planet Bombay when I first went with pals wayyy back in the day; restaurant hasn't changed after a recent visit before a concert.And I mean that in every way: decor is exactly the same. Bollywood playing up on the TVs. The walls here are likely sticky to the touch, and we still have to "pardon me, excuse me" squeeze past food-runner station to get to the restroom in back. To see state of affairs in the back-of-the-house you'll be forgiven for wondering how often they've failed health inspections.But seriously: I just don't give a cr*p about that. Folks here treat you like family, and if you make a rezzie in advance they put a "reserved" card on the table until you arrive--making you feel like the Queen of England.We ordered samosas, chicken tikka masala and Vindaloo--all of which were on-point. Even our Taj Mahal beer was SUPER chilled, exactly as I you'd want it to be.Our host was super nice to us and did 2 things that earned them 5 stars: we asked permission to remain parked in their lot for the concert we were seeing at Variety Playhouse, and he said yes. Also, I asked our waiter to pack up our remaining food. When it never came back to the table, our host realized the waiter just tossed it and made us a new to-go container with fresh food. THAT is amazing.Don't ever change, Planet Bombay. stay grunge-fabulous. More...

Wow. That's what I have to say about this place. We dropped in on a whim and boy, were we glad that we did. Everything we ordered was a delight, however, the best part of the experience was the customer service. I was indecisive about what to order and our server had such a great knowledgeable attitude, asked the right questions and helped narrow it down very quickly yet respectfully. Everyone seemed very attentive as they would check our table in a timely manner, cleared empty plates, kept our water glasses full. .. etc. Definitely a five star worthy service worth mentioning. We will surely return to try other items on the menu as I am confident that they are just as spectacular. More...

I've been coming to Planet Bombay for the last 16 years. My favorite dish is Paneer Makhani, which I've tried in all sorts of restaurants, including some of the best Indian restaurants on Brick Lane in London. Planet Bombay beats them all.However, it seems like maybe two years ago they changed their recipe and it isn't half as good now. It just tastes like sweet tomato sauce and cream now. Bring the old recipe back! (or send it to me :p)I recommend this restaurant to anyone and I'm sad to see that they've moving locations to Edgewood, as it was such a nice Little Five Points fixture, but I hope they get good business at their new location.

I was down in Atlanta for a convention, and was not about to go to the Indian restaurant that is in the heart of Atlanta because it was packed to the gills! So, I googled places near my hotel and Planet Bombay came up. The only "bad" thing about the food is that I asked for medium to hot and they gave me mild. Honestly, if I'm not sweating, it's not hot enough for me! So, I was not thrilled, but the flavors were delightful nonetheless. More...

From service to food, this is my favorite getaway for a delicious dinner and outstanding service. My boyfriend and I feel like we're at an authentic fine dining Indian cuisine because of the thoughtfulness that goes into the table service. Jule is typically always our server, and we're always to grateful for him every time we come in. If you like Indian food, check them out, if you've never had Indian food, check them out! Even if you don't like Indian food, CHECK THEM OUT, cause I'm sure they will change your mind or help you pick a dish of your liking.Thanks Planet Bombay for a happy happy full girl!! More...

I wish they would open the blinds so it's easier to check out the place from the exterior, or that they used the patio. I've walked past it so many times and never thought to check it out until a friend recommend it. Great vegetarian food and super friendly servers. Will definitely come back. More...

Nagaland hot isn't something you typically ask for, so I had to do some research to find about a little more about this heat level. Nagaland is not a heat level but instead a place. It is a state on the northeast border of India. This is one of the only places on the planet that the Ghost pepper grows naturally. In other words, to say something is Nagaland hot is asking to add Ghost pepper to your dish. Every curry on the menu can be made anywhere from normal to Nagaland hot at no extra cost. I ordered the Rogan Josh because lamb is one of my favorite meats. After asking for it to be Nagaland hot the waiter warned against it but soon accepted the order. The curry comes out in a steel dish, common for Indian restaurants, but this really helps retain the heat. The first bite is warm and flavorful and even tricks you into thinking it will be hot. I am a firm believer that there is a difference between a hot dish (pain sensation, lingering heat followed by numbing in some cases) and a spicy dish (very flavorful but does little more than a hot Tabasco). Nagaland hot is a spicy dish that does not need any additional heat additive, but it is not hot. I really enjoyed the food, and the service is great. We were checked on multiple times during our meal, and did not feel rushed out. A single curry is more than enough for two, and I was over full leaving the place.Follow me on Instagram @lifebeast1 More...

After I had a bad day, my boyfriend decided to take me out for dinner to cheer me up. He chose Planet  Bombay, right in the heart of Little 5 points. It's a fun Bohemian area with excellent people watching, shopping, and walking.  Parking was easy, right behind the restaurant. That's amazing for L5P! I've circled the roads looking for parking too much in my life. The restaurant was completely empty when we went in. I appreciated the authentic Indian picture and art. Really livening up the dining area were two big TVs showing Bollywood style music videos continuously.  There was something mesmerizing about it.  Though my partner and I were in different sides of the booth we could both watch the Bollywood videos.  The dancing music videos were entertaining, though a little TOO cheerful.Our server provided superior service. Finally,  Ibwas happy to find millennial who understood how to treat people respectfully. It must because he was born in India and not the USA! He was so thrilled to wait on us.  The food was hot and in time and served attractively.I got the sample tray meat for one person. It was $20. It was worth it because it included Naan and the other menu items which were $14-16 you had to purchase naan separately.I highly recommend Bombay planet. I took down one star because I did not like the sauce on the tikka masala.  I hope to go back soon but I hope they play something different on the TV! More...

We absolutely love this place. The food is really good and the service is excellent. We come here a lot and have running jokes with the servers. The food is consistent and is better than all the other places we have tried in town. The Thali (Combo plate) is such a great deal. The prices are more than reasonable, especially for the location. Today they even gave us this soup that was so delicious. I'm not sure what the ingredients are, but omg the smell is intoxicating and the flavors are magnificent. I'll post a picture. If you bypass this gem, you are missing out. Go in, relax and have a good time. They will treat you nicely. More...

This Food was sooooo freaking good! My co-worker had ordered some for lunch and I literally wanted to take her lunch lol. The food left such an impression, it was on my mind until the next day where I arrived getting my own Food lol Parking is not there at all ! I parked near Newananda store parking lot which I believe is shared with the post office. Be careful as I'm not sure if that was the safest as you may get towed lolIt's right next door to the post office and titled as "Indian cuisine" so if you're trying to find the words "planet Bombay" it can be a bit confusing. I was greeted well and it's literally a real restaurant inside so be prepared to be serviced. I told them what I wanted and they prepared it. It took a little longer cause it's real Food so I was not upset at all! Can't wait to go back. Literally considering getting some for dinner for tonight :) More...

Food as always was great. Without a doubt one of the best Indian restaurant in Atlanta. Their customer service is outstanding, the servers were very professional, engaged and aware of dinning etiquettes. Unlike someone the other restaurants I've been to where I had some of the long and awkward conversations with servers. All in all, this place is a little on the expensive side and probably not going to win any beauty awards, but boy was that food good. More...

This was my first time at Planet Bombay, but my friend had been going there for many years. She helped me appreciate the appetizers, breads, and entrees. Â The wait staff also were very helpful (and attentive and funny). Â The veggie somosas were really delicious! Â Each of us had a different appetizer. My experienced friend ordered chana sagg as spicy as it comes. My daughter had malai curry chicken. Â I had Manchurian fish. Everyone ate a lot and took home the rest. (To me, when you want every drop, that's a sure sign that the food is delicious.) Â We ordered the garlic naan bread, which was an excellent complement for the meal. Â We also shared the gulab jamun dessert--YUMMY. Â Although music (or a movie) was going the whole while, we were able to enjoy a lively dinner conversation. Â At the end of the meal, I also enjoyed the candy-coated fennel seeds--which freshen the breath and help prevent gas. (I had dined at Indian restaurants before, but this was my first time trying this after-dinner specialty.)My only reservation about Planet Bombay is about the parking. I'm not that good at parking, and for me it was an adventure. Nevertheless, parking behind the restaurant is free. Â I definitely plan to return, because I enjoyed every bite of my leftovers--as did my daughter and my friend. More...

Gave this place a try when a few other restaurants in the area had long waits on a Friday night and we were STUNNED at how absolutely delicious it was. We ordered the butter chicken and the Malaya chicken curry and both were excellent. The decor is a little lacking and service wasn't super fast, but I couldn't care less after trying the food. It looks like they do a lot of takeout orders so we may try that next time. More...

This was the first Indian place I ever tried, and needless to say, it is the one I always return to. I've tried a lot of different places in Atlanta, but this place just feels like home. The staff is so polite and attentive. They usually have a nice little Bollywood movie playing on the TV. Whenever I come in alone, I've always gotten something a soup, a dessert, thrown in complimentary. Such a sweet touch! I've tried a good bit of the menu, but my favorite is the chicken tikka masala and the mango lassi. The mushroom soup is also really good, but I've had an occasion or two where it's been a little...off. Also, a good thing about this restaurant is FREE PARKING! More...

The food here is exceptional. The staff is always friendly and incredibly welcoming! Not only do my friends eat here probably twice a week, but got my boyfriend and I on the bandwagon! We've had a lot of different dishes and all of them are so delicious. If you want legit Indian , this has got to be legit. You can pick your level of spice which is awesome and daring if you like spice!! We always do a 4 which is perfect between mild and medium. If you want to stay with the most popular the tikka masala is decadent, the soups are made with the most amazing spices and aromas, I can't even explain what I am tasting.

This was my first time here. It was very packed because Idecided to come in and dine right during the annual Little Five Points Halloween Parade and Festival. Soon as I walked in it smelled great!! So many spices in the air. I was seated immediately and looked over the menu and it was truly traditional Indian cuisine. I ordered chicken samosa which is a pastry filled with chicken and onions with lost of spices and it was delicious and flavorful. I also ordered the spinach basmati rice which is rice cooked with spinch, onions which are carmelized and mixed together. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I did come in for a snack and didn't partake in the full menu but with the initial experience that I had I will come again and dine. Now if your looking for a restaurant with alot of space this is not the place since the seating is fairly close by and your going to be near another patron dining but who cares when the food is really good.

Saag paneer that will make you extremely satisfied, and then upset because you will realize that you have wasted so many minutes and dollars and calories consuming frozen Saag paneer or a dish at (one of Atlanta's many) lesser Indian restaurants. I am sad for so many people who try mediocre or bad Indian food, and that combine with the exotic and unfamiliar nature of the food, they write it off completely. Forgetting also that there are many regions and cuisines of India. The spices and balance here you will find somewhat novel. The Saag is incredible. The vindaloo is very good. The Naan is awesome, and the cheese naan, not sure how traditional it is, but it's awesome. The Korma too. The papadam (thin lentil flour crisps) with mango mint sauce they give you to start the meal even is awesome. Â Make sure to get raita (yogurt sauce) to go with spicy dishes. Â Their 'hot sauce' (ground peppers) is also fire. Recently I found the service to be warm and hospitable. Â I don't believe there is any parking, I parked on a side residential street pretty easily and walked a half block, and the place could be cleaner/ more updated. Still 5 stars for the quality of the food, spices, sauces, etc.Zyka is my other favorite Indian, more casual, and Bhojanic is good if you want a more familiar/trendy environment and some great cocktails and some interesting takes (even if their traditional dishes aren't as good). If you want awesome, classic Indian - go here. More...
